Comedian Patton Oswalt Marries Actress Meredith Salenger

Comedian Patton Oswalt announced his marriage this weekend to actress Meredith Salenger. The news comes after the comedian, perhaps best known for his work on The King of Queens, was criticized by some for a quick engagement following his first wife’s sudden death.

Oswalt shared the news of the wedding on Instagram with a photo from the ceremony and the caption: “What’d you guys do yesterday?”

Salenger, an actress perhaps best known for The Journey of Natty Gann, even posted a tribute to her friend Eric Garcetti.
